MOST government run museums are crap as far as donations are concerned. i have worked at 6 US army museums and for the most part (FT Knox is not included) they are places you would NOT want to donate to, never!!!!! the CMH that runs them is not intrested in artifacts for the most part, just publishing the history of XXXXXXX whatever.
even aberdeen is underfunded and when you look at the rare armor outside you will get a cold feeling all over when you see all the rust holes.
now the museum in indiana is a non profit and takes care of the donations that it gets with a $100,000,000.00 expansion plan going on to make it the largest WWII vehicle museum in the world. it already houses the old victory museum form belguim.
right now i hope to be able to turn my more than 10,000 colection into a non for profit museum someday. i will try to get a building and motor pool up latter this year.
thanks
dave
